Valley High School coach Gary Swenson was surprised that his star offensive tackle David Barrent switched his commitment from Iowa to Michigan State on Monday. But Swenson is not surprised that Michigan State is the school that ended up with Barrent's commitment.

"I know that it was a difficult decision for him to choose Iowa over Michigan State to begin with," said Swenson. "I do not know all of the details that led him to switch his commitment, but knowing the type of kid that he is, I am sure that he thought everything out and had good reasons for making the switch."
